You can still get great photos in the rain

There is something about a rain day.  If you are from Atlanta I don't have to tell you that we have gotten our share of rain the last couple of weeks .  I had a family portrait scheduled this weekend and looking at the weather channel there was rain in the future.  The family was from England and were used to the rain.  So the mother emailed me and asked if I was up for a rainy family portrait.  I course I said yes!!!   As a Atlanta wedding photographer at www.atlantaartisticweddings.com I am always up for a challenge.  If I can shoot something different and unique I get excited.

The mom was so smart and got the kids rubber boots for the shoot.  She also brought little caps for the kids, colorful rain coats and a umbrella for the shoot.  They have 3 boys and they were great!  The youngest was always looking around trying to keep up with his older brothers.  When one as playing with the umbrella he had to have a turn.  I go this shot just as he opened the umbrella.  His dad is off camera holding the top of the umbrella since as you can see it is bigger than him.  I just love the vibrancy of the colors from this shot.  I could not have asked for anything better!  If you have ideas please feel free to share them with your photographer we always love new ideas and that way you get to express your families personality.
